This is why they didn't sell at the trade deadline like some wanted. They probably knew they'd have Fernando and Darvish back at some point, and at full strength. I thought it was foolish to even suggest that. We can win the WS just as easily as other teams. This team just seems different. We've got that "it" factor. Shildt has done a TREMENDOUS job. Good times!!! Entirely false. Fernando is still playing through a considerable amount of pain, the team has said multiple times the bone isn't even healed. That's why he's given off days since he came back. Gloating about something two months after the fact is really something. Oh no, I gloated earlier as well. Lol. I just like to bring it up now and again, because it was such a ridiculous statement, by mainly you, that you would have, and you thought that, they should sell. The quotes there. You were about the only one that thought that. It was ridiculous, but we get that from time to time from you. No shock. Entirely false? Another ridiculous statement, but again, not shocked. |

Yes, it's entirely false because there's zero truth to what you said. That's what entirely false means. The team didn't know in mid-July if Darvish was coming back at all. He had just left the team literally two weeks prior. Fernando, as already mentioned, is not 100%. A direct quote from Mike Shildt: It’s fun to write Fernando’s name in the lineup,” said Shildt. “This is a guy who knows himself, his body. But, this thing is still in the process of healing. We’re in uncharted territory. He’s able to play. He’s the one driving this. His coming back is a big lift. His energy is great, it’s infectious." With regards to selling at the deadline, I was far from the only one, unless you don't know anyone outside your bubble? lastwordonsports.com/baseball/2024/06/18/padres-buy-or-sell-trade-deadline/This is a bit more complicated than you're giving credence to, which is hardly surprising. |

Uh oh… Really? Coming from the guy who uses "Moron" and "Suckez"....? No, I'm not butthurt. What John posted was false...and bragging about something two months after the fact when things have worked out pretty much perfectly is kinda silly. I guess some people just can't enjoy the winning on its own. |

Your predictions, and statements can be attributed to you as dumb, if you want to use your favorite word, besides stupid. It fits you here. I know they had a pretty good idea that Darvish would be back, as well as Fernando. Darvish hasn't missed a beat, and Fernando is playing well. If it helps you feel better about your ridiculous statement that you made about them selling, then you can go ahead and say that what I said was entirely false. What wasn't entirely false in the statement is when you said they should sell, so there's that ridiculousness. Also, what I said is that you were the only one on here that made that ridiculous statement and many of us snapped our head around and said, "What??" But, again, not shocked. That's the main point, your ridiculous thought that they should sell. Yikes. We were actually playing great without Fernando, so even if we didn't get him back you don't sell at that point. THANK GOODNESS you're no GM, especially for the Padres. Whew. |

Team was in a slightly better spot this year, but given the dynamics at the time and remembering history, you could have easily made a case for going either direction. Direct evidence and you shrug it off. Yeah. |

So, when you treat people like that, you're going to hear about it when you're wrong, and you happen to be wrong A LOT. |

The only reason I even responded is because you spread false information constantly, play it off as you have some kind of inside knowledge about situations and then use current results to justify something that happened two months ago. They didn't sell at the deadline for one simple reason: AJ Preller got the blessing to buy from Greupner, Kutsenda and the Seidler family. It's not ridiculous in the slightest to suggest a team with a bloated payroll and lifetime contracts sell expiring assets. Teams literally do it yearly. |

Going to be hard, since you don't really have one. I'd really love to give peace a chance, but this is beyond small. |

Ridiculous because of the way they were/are playing, and with Fernando and Darvish waiting in the wings, it became even more of a no brainer. Even if they weren't positive that they were going to have them back, and I happen to know that they were more sure that they would, rather than wouldn't, (and yes Ryan, I do have a couple of team connections that are reliable) you don't sell. They have more than your stats provide, which is chemistry and that "it" factor. They also have the pitching for it even without Darvish. Just get in, and then you never know. You also never know when you're going to have a TEAM, I emphasize TEAM Because that's what they are, again that has a good chance to get into the playoffs. They were playing too well at the time to even give reasonable thoughts to trade for the future. Peace. |

You just want to attack whatever moves, which is fine. You're using hindsight to justify decisions that had to be made two months ago, which is a predictable crutch, but unless you can see through the future....it means nothing. Whatever sources you have were blowing smoke if they told you the team knew Darvish was coming back the week after he left. We have different concepts of what selling actually entails. |

I bring up what I think is relevant at the moment, and that thought of your statement came to mind. Nothing else. Moving on. I'm just extremely happy that they didn't sell, which I don't think they really ever entertained that idea seriously, anyway. It's been an exciting, and extremely fun season. I'm hoping it caps off with a WS Title. |

Someone should have told the manager, two weeks after the deadline. https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1eqlr7s/lin_the_padres_remain_uncertain_whether_yu/ You thought it was relevant to bring something up that was over July 30th? Okay, I guess. Things beyond this season actually matter, but I'm glad they flipped a switch. Still plenty of work to be done, though. |

The Padres are 24 games above .500 for the first time since August 28th, 2010.
The Padres, at their high point that season, were 27 games over, on August 25th, but then proceeded to go on a long losing streak.
They are a much better team this season than the 2010 team.
Remembering fun times--the Padres most games ever above .500 was 41, on September 1st, 1998.
